Plains All American Pipeline (PAA) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. is a midstream energy infrastructure company that provides logistics services for crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs). Rather than primarily exploring for or producing hydrocarbons, the company operates assets that help gather, transport, store and deliver energy commodities from production areas to refineries, processing facilities and other markets.

The company’s operations include pipeline transportation systems, gathering networks, storage facilities, rail and truck transportation, and terminal and export infrastructure. Plains also provides supply, logistics and related services, coordinating the movement of crude oil and NGLs across its network.

Plains All American serves major energy-producing and refining regions in the United States and Canada, with significant operations connected to areas such as the Permian Basin, the Rocky Mountains, the Bakken and the U.S. Gulf Coast. The partnership’s history dates to the development of Plains’ midstream operations in the 1980s, and it has expanded through asset development and acquisitions.
